ATF HQ(@ATFHQ):As students head #BackToSchool, one of the most important safety steps families can take is secure firearm storage at home. Many school incidents start with a child accessing a gun that wasn’t locked away. ATF encourages all gun owners to store firearms unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition. A safely stored firearm protects your family, and your community, all year long. #SafeGunStorage #LockItUp #SchoolSafety
